Why do I feel like we're heading to a future where all consumer facing SW, tech, entertainment is just walled gardens controlled by the handful of trillion dollar megacorps and as a developer or content creator on their platform (or gig worker as you call them) you will basically have the choice of putting up with their bullying/abuse with no chance of recourse or go hungry like how many youtubers wake up with their cannels banned or deleted overnight byt a bot without any chance of fighting back?
Because you may have forgotten that you still have a choice? The rider (mind) is pretty weak compared to the elephant (animal), but still strong enough to convince itself its' thoughts are correct. Thoughts beget feelings, watch them. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
